Continuing discussion of crosswalk safety downtown and a rental registration housing law will be on the agenda for Tuesday's city of Canandaigua Ordinance Committee meeting.

While the city voted at the beginning of the year to add flashing lights and decals on Main Street, the topic of safety was brought up again recently following the death of a Canandaigua woman Sept. 10 who was struck by a car at a crossing.

Residents and landlords came to the Oct. 3 Canandaigua City Council meeting to give their input on the proposed rental registration law; however, Council voted to table the item and the crowd was told they could provide input during the Oct. 15 meeting.

The law would require owners of residential rental property to provide contact information, including phone numbers and emails, to the city as part of a landlord contact database. The ordinance — which was also introduced and tabled during the Sept. 5 City Council meeting — would require the property owner to obtain a permit on a yearly basis. Council determined later in September that there would be no fee for the annual permit.

Additionally, the Ordinance Committee will explore options at the Niagara Street parking lot. The issue was brought up last month by councilmember David Whitcomb. He proposed the parking lot would be one-way to avoid potential accidents.

The Ordinance meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14 at the Hurley Building, 205 Saltonstall St.
